The Arkansas Chamber of Commerce is pushing anti-worker legislation to abolish the Workers' Compensation Second Injury Fund. The Chamber members are writing legislators in support of House Bill 2674 by Rep. Keven Anderson (R-Rogers), and we must make our voices heard against this cruel bill and in support of disabled workers. One of the main reasons for creation of the Second Injury Fund was to encourage hiring people with disabilities, but the Workers' Compensation has failed to fund it for 8 of the last 16 years.
Please contact Legislators today and ask them to oppose HB 2674 (AN ACT TO AMEND ARKANSAS CODE 11-9-525 CONCERNING COMPENSATION FOR SECOND INJURIES; TO AMEND A PORTION OF THE ARKANSAS CODE WHICH RESULTED FROM INITIATED ACT 4 OF 1948; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES . This bill will be in the Public Health, Welfare & Labor Committee on Tuesday, March 20.
